Sumner bar rescue
Sumner lifeboatmen rescued a man after a 5m cabin cruiser overturned on the Sumner bar early on Saturday afternoon. The other man aboard had managed to swim ashore on the spit at South
New Brighton, said a spokesman for the Sumner Lifeboat Institution. The overturned cabin cruiser, which ended up on a sandbank, was towed into Moncks Bay by the new rescue jetboat Marion McTeigue.
